What kind of pre-enshittification tech do you all use? Stuff where ppl look at you like you’re an alien b/c nobody does it that any more.
Me ->
Oldschool offline mp3 player rather than Spottify or other streaming or phone app, to use when running.
Paper books rather than e-books.
DRM free games I buy on GOG to avoid rootkitting my own comp.
Wired speakers rather than smart speakers.
Old ass pre-connected car.
Prob more but I can’t think of it all rn.
I still use my AlphaSmart Neo. Its a smple portable word processor, popular in schools in the 2000s. Small LCD screen, Full keyboard, and runs forever on AA batteries. No apps, notifications, or distractions, just turn it on and write.
